  • Patent number: 11883550
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for decontaminating substantially enclosed environments by using ultrasonic cavitation of a cleaning fluid to produce a low pressure, low air flow mist that can be activated by a nonthermal plasma actuator to create a cloud of activated hydroxyl species with the capacity to decontaminate articles, open surfaces or substantially enclosed spaces of pathogens, including bacteria, and other pathogenic microorganisms. An automated system and related non-transitory computer medium are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2020
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignee: TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.

  • Publication number: 20200345021
    Abstract: Systems and methods of decontaminating food substances by using cold plasma to enhance the performance of ionized hydrogen peroxide to decontaminate food, and methods of use thereof. Cold plasma activation significantly enhanced the efficacy of hydrogen peroxide (HO2) mist against bacteria on fresh produce, and the technology may be used to enhance microbial safety. Cold plasma activated ionized hydrogen peroxide (iHP) can be applied on various fresh produce items. In particular, cold plasma enhanced the efficacy of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) mist against Salmonella and Liberia.

  • Publication number: 20190247529
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus are described for decontaminating small enclosures, semi-enclosed and closed areas of pathogens by using a very dry mist comprising ionized hydrogen peroxide. The system can be controlled manually by the user, or by a remote connection, such as a wireless network connection. The method includes use of a handheld, point-and-spray device that sprays a very dry mist comprising ionized hydrogen peroxide under manual or automated control.
